[edit] A welcome from Sango123

Hello, Duinemerwen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; I hope you like the place and decide to stay. We're glad to have you in our community! Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Though we all make goofy mistakes, here is what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. The Community Portal can also be very useful.

Happy editing!

[edit] Babel

You'll find everything you need at Wikipedia:Babel, but note that the Userbox template allows you to create your own boxes. ;-) By the way, I live in the United States. Regards, Sango123 (talk) 23:53, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Churchill Heights Public School

Hi, could you add some more information to Churchill Heights Public School which you created. Currently, there's not even enough information to identify the exact school. At a minimum, you should specify a the location more clearly. There's multiple "Scarborough"'s in the world. Ideally, you would place a wiki-link to the specific one you're interested in. Also, ideally you would give an external link to the school's web site. This will help others verify information. More inforamtin, about what's appropriate/needed can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools. Let me know if you have any questions. And of course, welcome to wikipedia. --Rob 00:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for putting in the province and web site for the article, which provides needed context. As a result, I have removed the message about lack of context. --Rob 04:49, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning the block on 38.116.192.13

I'm afraid I'm not willing to lift the block at this time. Looking through Special:Contributions/38.116.192.13, I can find only a smattering worthwhile edits in a flood of crap, and its block log is one of the longest on record. On several occasions we have lifted blocks early due to collateral damage, but when we do the vandalism returns almost immediately. It's too much; we don't have the manpower to babysit this IP all the time. At this point I recommend contacting the school district network administrators and asking them for help tracking down those responsible. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 20:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the software does not make it clear to logged in users when their IP has been blocked. It's also unfortunate that a small handful of vandals can so easily cut off a large number of innocent contributors. It's all part of the infamous mediawiki bug 550, and the proposed Wikipedia:Blocking policy proposal, neither of which have been resolved. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 22:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

With the current software, if you are on an IP that's been blocked, even if you have an account in good standing (such as yours), you can't edit articles. There is a proposal that would allow logged in users to post through an IP block, but it has not been implemented yet. Hopefully that will change, but this has been an acknowledged problem for more than a year. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 19:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Syracuse, Italy

I removed your edit because it introduced again blank spaces which give a poor appearance to the article. Can I ask why you moved the image to right? Attilios
